Abstract

<span>The present work deals with multilevel inverters (MLI) with modified carrier pulse width modulation technique and its application, especially in solar-based applications due to its modularity in structure and suitability for medium or high-power applications. Several multilevel inverters are introduced for various applications. One of the drawbacks of these inverters is high total harmonic distortion (THD) value in the output which impacts the power quality. The main objective of this work is to improve the power quality, thereby increasing the life and performance of the overall system at the consumer side. The most popular and compact cascaded multilevel DC-link inverter (CMDCLI) is considered for study and employed for 11-level operation. In general, sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) technique is used for control of inverter. However, the present work proposes a modified carrier-based hybrid pulse width modulation (HPWM) technique and has been tested with CMLDCLI. This novel technique compares the THD performance results with normal carrier wave considering R-L load. The results are analyzed in MATLAB environment and are validated with experimental results.</span>
